An explosives laden ambulance went off in Kabul, Afganistan's capital on Saturday claiming 95 lives and injuring 158 persons. The ambulance was driven by attackers after passing through a checkpoint into a street that was only open to government workers. It happened near the old interior ministry building and offices of the European Union and High Peace Council.

The Taliban have claimed that they carried out the attack, the deadliest for months. The International Committee of the Red Cross has condemned the attack saying that the use of an ambulance was "harrowing".
